NUnit Fit Tests?

Asked by matt sabo

Hi,
 I work for a medical device company which uses nunit in our development environment. To complete my documentation requirements I need get a report of nunit internal tests run and passed by this software for build 2.5.5.10112. I know these tests are included in the installer but I'm not able to locate any report or instructions on how to run these tests and generate a report.

If anyone has a copy of this report or knows how to build the tests and run them against my installer assemblies please contact me.

thanks,

Two answers (well, one answer and someof advice):

1. You can run the FIT tests from that release using the NAnt build script.
The command is nant fit-tests. Alternatively, use the command line in your
bin\2.0 directory, as follows:
   runfile NUnitFitTests.html TestResults.html .
Note the final period! It's required and means current directory. The
report will end up in the html file specified as the second argument.

2. Why are you doing this? The FIT tests were an experiment we abandoned
and contain little more than running the NUnit unit tests, which you can
provide to the FDA examiner. You can easily format the results of the unit
tests as a very impressive html report, which shows both failures and
successes, using post-processing of the results. There are NUnit and
third-party apps that do this.

IMO, a better way to improve the validity of your results is to upgrade
your rather old version of NUnit to at least 2.5.10, which would fix lots
of the bugs present in 2.5.5. I can understand that you may want to stay
within the 2.5 series to avoid changing horses in midstream, but keeping up
with bug fixes is pretty important - more important than pretty reports!

You can contact me directly (nunitguy on gmail) if you would like to go
into this in more detail. The question area isn't very convenient for
discussing things. The nunit-discuss google group is another place to bring
it up if you want to get multiple opinions.
